Electronic Riding Aid Systems

• ABS CORNERING AND ABS SLIDE-BY-BRAKE: An anti-lock braking system is a safety system that prevents a vehicle’s wheels from locking during heavy braking. Essentially, the ABS regulates the braking pressure on the wheel, allowing it to continuously have traction on the riding surface. There are different ABS intervention levels, depending on the selected Riding Mode. Slide-By-Brake ABS is a feature of ABS that allows safe drifting on corner entry for better performance in sport riding.
• CRUISE CONTROL: An electronic system first introduced by Ducati in 2014 on the Multistrada 1200 that automatically maintains the speed set by the rider without intervening on the throttle grip.
• DUCATI BRAKE LIGHT EVO (DBL): System that flashes taillight and 4 arrows to signal hard braking to following vehicles.
• DUCATI LAP TIMER GPS (DLT GPS): The system automatically detects lap times and two split times and displays them directly on the dashboard on each lap. On every lap, the system records the time, maximum RPM, maximum speed (real, detected by GPS), split times, as well as lean and yaw angles.
• DUCATI POWER LAUNCH (DPL): System that guarantees lightning-fast starts allowing the rider to concentrate only on managing the clutch release.
• DUCATI QUICK SHIFTER 2.0 (DQS 2.0): The DQS 2.0 allows the rider to shift up and down without using the clutch and evolves with respect to the previous system, doing away with the traditional lever with microswitch in favor of a direct mechanical lever. The electronic strategy is entrusted to the positioning sensor on the gear drum that identifies the gear engaged, offering the rider more direct feeling that is easier to repeat, less “rubbery” and with reduced travel.
• DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT (DRL): These are the daytime running lights that are used to comply with the obligation to use dipped headlights during the day.
• DUCATI TRACTION CONTROL (DTC): System that detects rear wheel slippage and automatically cuts power to limit or zero it, depending on the settings chosen by the user.
• DUCATI WHEELIE CONTROL (DWC): System that controls the wheelie and allows you to achieve maximum acceleration performance with ease and safety.
• ENGINE BRAKE CONTROL (EBC): The EBC helps riders to optimize the stability of the bike in extreme cornering conditions, balancing the forces to which the rear tire is subjected in conditions of intensive application of the engine brake.
• RIDE-BY-WIRE SYSTEM: Also known as electronic accelerator, it is a system that electronically manages the opening and closing of the throttle (s).

Engines

• V2 ENGINE: The lightest twin-cylinder ever produced in Borgo Panigale, it offers maximum riding enjoyment by ensuring substantial torque delivery at all engine speeds and real sports performance at the top end.
• THE LIGHTEST TWIN-CYLINDER EVER PRODUCED IN BORGO PANIGALE: 890 cc displacement with a weight of just 120 lb (54.4 kg). The V2 engine sees Ducati take yet another innovative step forward with an engine that is up to 19.8 lb lighter than the previous Superquadro and approximately 12.7 lb lighter than the Testastretta Evoluzione and the Desmodue that equips the Scrambler®. A result that allows Ducati designers to engineer bikes that are even lighter as well as more agile, enjoyable and high-performance.
• JUST 119 LB. THE LIGHTEST EVER DUCATI V2: The Ducati twin comes in at a record-breaking low weight with respect to its predecessors. This is the result of meticulous work to lighten components combined with the development of a cooling system that eliminates the water-oil heat exchanger, now integrated into the chambers in direct contact with the cylinders. This translates into better acceleration response as well as reduced consumption and emissions.
• 18,000 MILES SERVICE INTERVALS: The design of this twin-cylinder was strongly guided by a desire to set high standards in terms of reliability and emissions. The V2 boasts benchmark service intervals for its category. The valve clearance check is scheduled every 18,000 miles and the oil change every 9000 miles, which makes for contained maintenance costs.
• ICONIC 90°CONFIGURATION: The 90° architecture of the V2 engine continues the tradition of Ducati sports engines. Slender and with real personality in its tone and delivery, the V configuration of the cylinders also ensures the intrinsic balancing of first order forces, with no need for a countershaft to eliminate vibration.
• INTAKE VARIABLE TIMING: VARIABLE TIMING CONTROL: Thanks to the Intake Variable Timing (IVT) system, the Ducati twin delivers very linear torque right from low rpm, with a prompt and exciting throttle response, and sports performance at high rpm. This is because the IVT system intervenes by progressively varying the timing of the intake valve control across a 52° range, via a timing actuator on the end of the camshaft.
• HOLLOW STEM VALVES AND ROCKERS WITH DLC COATING: The intake valves have a hollow stem. This solution boosts the efficiency of the timing system thanks to a 5% weight saving. The valves are also chrome-plated, to ensure optimum surface resistance. To optimize engine efficiency, the intake valve finger followers have a DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coating, just like the MotoGP Desmosedici, which guarantees very hard, smooth surfaces.
• RACING LUBRICATION SYSTEM: As with the race engines, the lubrication system is comprised of a main pump and a scavenge pump located in the con rod housing. The scavenge pump reduces pressure in the con rod housing to reduce the resistance of the moving parts and ensure efficient recovery of the lubricating oil in all conditions of engine use.
• CYLINDER LINERS: The V2 is equipped with aluminum cylinder liners, inserted into the engine block holes as it is being assembled. A technical choice that results in greater stiffness of the structure and offers a significant advantage in terms of overall compactness. The liners’ thin walls also encourage efficient heat exchange with the coolant with which they come into contact.
• DUCATI QUICK SHIFT 2.0: As with the latest Ducati V4 engines, the gearbox can be equipped with Ducati Quick Shift Up and Down (DQS) 2.0. The second-generation DQS uses a strategy based solely on the gear sensor, so that it can use a pedal control with no microswitch. This solution gives the rider more direct feeling, with reduced travel and none of the “gumminess” typical of traditional quick shifters, as well as facilitating the identification of neutral.
• RATIONALITY AND LIGHTNESS TO ENSURE VERSATILITY AND EFFICIENCY: The guiding principle behind the V2 was to create the lightest ever Ducati twin-cylinder that could adapt to different motorcycles in the range. A project that harnessed sophisticated engineering solutions, such as aluminum cylinder liners and the positioning of the pump in the crankcase. An innovative engine that introduces the electronic variable timing system to improve the quality of delivery, offering the rider a linear response at low rpm, robust torque mid-range, and strong top-end performance.
• TIMING CHAIN WITH DOUBLE OVERHEAD CAMSHAFT, IVT INTAKE VARIABLE TIMING, 4 VALVES PER CYLIND: The IVT system continuously adjusts intake valve timing within a range of 52°, thanks to the introduction of a timing actuator applied to the end of the camshaft. In this way, it is possible to define the best overlap based on engine speed and throttle opening, for a delivery curve that is smooth and sustained low- to mid-range while ensuring stellar top-end performance. More than 70% of torque is already available at 3000 rpm, and between 3500 and 11,000 rpm the torque value never drops below 80%, which translates into track-level performance that can be enjoyed on the road.
• INJECTORS WITH RIDE-BY-WIRE CONTROL AND 4 POWER MODES: Output is entrusted to a 52mm circular section throttle body, with an injector under the throttle valve controlled by a ride-by-wire system that offers up to four different Power Modes, to adapt engine delivery to different riding situations and types of engine use. The system can vary the torque limit gear by gear with dedicated mapping, ensuring a suitable throttle response for each ratio.
• HOLLOW STEM VALVES WITH SPRING RETURN: he intake valves have a hollow stem. A sophisticated solution that makes them 5% lighter and results in a more efficient engine, because it reduces the energy needed to activate them. A spring return actuator extends the service intervals and makes for an even smoother and more regular engine response at low rpm.
• THE VERSATILITY OF A DUCATI TWIN. IN TWO VERSIONS TO ACCENTUATE THE CHARACTER OF EVERY MOTORCYCLE: The V2 engine is unique in every sense. Thanks to its compact layout and performance, it can adapt to a range of requirements. Not least because it is developed in two distinct versions (120 hp and 115 hp), boosting its versatility. The sportiest version delivers 126 hp at 10,000 rpm and 72.2 lb-ft of torque (+3.68 lb-ft) at 8250 rpm with the racing exhaust for track use. The second 115 hp version is equipped with a more powerful alternator, to better handle the most challenging adventures. The con rod assembly and flywheel are more robust, for greater reliability in difficult conditions, with a 12% increase in the moment of inertia for more balanced operation at low revs.
• 90° V2 LAYOUT: The V layout is the trademark of every Ducati twin. This is not just an identifying feature, but an engineering solution that offers various advantages from a technical standpoint. The V allows for a natural balancing of first order forces, with no need for countershaft to eliminate vibration. This makes for less weight and greater compactness, which favors the design of more agile, streamlined vehicles.
• ROTATION ANGLE OF 20°: The 90° geometry is complemented by the choice of arranging the cylinders rotated 20° from the horizontal plane. Again, the desire to achieve optimal weight distribution to avoid inertial forces and provide compactness and maximum handling for the rider.
• 120 HP VERSION (126 WITH RACING EXHAUST): The sportiest version delivers maximum power of 120 hp at 10,750 rpm, while the maximum torque value is 68.8 lb-ft at 8250 rpm. The limiter, in fifth and sixth gear, is set at 11,350 rpm. If mounting the racing exhaust for track use (not homologated for road use), maximum power climbs to 126 hp (+6 hp) at 10,000 rpm and torque to 72.2 lb-ft (+3.6 lb-ft) at 8250 rpm.
